Succeeding as a Scientific Editor for a Major Biomedical Research Journal
(VTC)
At this mini internship, Dr. Meredith LeMasurier, chief editor of Nature Neuroscience, will guide you through a series of exercises that will convey the joys, challenges, and required skills for evaluating cutting edge research at a major academic publishing house.
During her doctoral work at Brandeis University, Dr. LeMasurier studied the intrinsic properties of potassium channels. She then moved to Oregon Health and Science University for her postdoctoral training, focusing on sensory transduction in the auditory and vestibular systems. Before joining Nature Neuroscience in 2014, Dr. LeMasurier was the deputy editor of Neuron, where she had been a member of the editorial team since 2007.
Sponsored by Virginia Tech's BEST program, this workshop is intended for doctoral students and postdoctoral associates in the biomedical and health sciences.
Participants must preregister as space is limited. More information...
